Process Concept




An operating system executes a variety of programs:
 Batch system – jobs
 Time-shared systems – user programs or tasks
Textbook uses the terms job and process almost
interchangeably
Process – a program in execution; process execution
must progress in sequential fashion
A process includes:
 program counter
 stack
 data section

Process State

As a process executes, it changes state
 new: The process is being created
 running: Instructions are being executed
 waiting: The process is waiting for some event to
occur
 ready: The process is waiting to be assigned to a
process
 terminated: The process has finished execution

Process Scheduling Queues

Job queue – set of all processes in the system

Ready queue – set of all processes residing in main
memory, ready and waiting to execute

Device queues – set of processes waiting for an I/O
device

Processes migrate among the various queues

Schedulers

Long-term scheduler (or job scheduler) –
selects which processes should be brought
into the ready queue

Short-term scheduler (or CPU scheduler)
– selects which process should be executed
next and allocates CPU

Schedulers (Cont.)




Short-term scheduler is invoked very frequently (milliseconds)
 (must be fast)
Long-term scheduler is invoked very infrequently (seconds,
minutes)  (may be slow)
The long-term scheduler controls the degree of
multiprogramming
Processes can be described as either:
 I/O-bound process – spends more time doing I/O than
computations, many short CPU bursts
 CPU-bound process – spends more time doing
computations; few very long CPU bursts

Context Switch



When CPU switches to another process, the
system must save the state of the old process and
load the saved state for the new process
Context-switch time is overhead; the system does
no useful work while switching
Time dependent on hardware support

Process Creation



Parent process create children processes, which,
in turn create other processes, forming a tree of
processes
Resource sharing
 Parent and children share all resources
 Children share subset of parent’s resources
 Parent and child share no resources
Execution
 Parent and children execute concurrently
 Parent waits until children terminate

Process Termination


Process executes last statement and asks the operating
system to delete it (exit)
 Output data from child to parent (via wait)
 Process’ resources are deallocated by operating system
Parent may terminate execution of children processes
(abort)
 Child has exceeded allocated resources
 Task assigned to child is no longer required
 If parent is exiting
XX
 Some operating system do not allow child to
continue if its parent terminates
 All children terminated - cascading termination

Message Passing – java socket




Message system – processes communicate with each other
without resorting to shared variables
Message passing facility provides two operations:
 send(message) – message size fixed or variable
 receive(message)
If P and Q wish to communicate, they need to:
 establish a communication link between them
 exchange messages via send/receive
Implementation of communication link
 physical (e.g., shared memory, hardware bus)
 logical (e.g., logical properties)



How are links established?
Can a link be associated with more than two
processes?
How many links can there be between every pair
of communicating processes?
What is the capacity of a link?
Is the size of a message that the link can
accommodate fixed or variable?
Is a link unidirectional or bi-directional?
Operating System Concepts with Java – 7th Edition, Nov 15, 2006

Direct Communication


Processes must name each other explicitly:
 send (P, message) – send a message to process P
 receive(Q, message) – receive a message from process
Q
Properties of communication link XX
 Links are established automatically
 A link is associated with exactly one pair of
communicating processes
 Between each pair there exists exactly one link
 The link may be unidirectional, but is usually bi-directional

Indirect Communication


Messages are directed and received from mailboxes
(also referred to as ports)
 Each mailbox has a unique id
 Processes can communicate only if they share a
mailbox
Properties of communication link
 Link established only if processes share a common
mailbox
 A link may be associated with many processes
 Each pair of processes may share several
communication links
 Link may be unidirectional or bi-directional

Indirect Communication


Operations
 create a new mailbox
 send and receive messages through mailbox
 destroy a mailbox
Primitives are defined as:
send(A, message) – send a message to mailbox A
receive(A, message) – receive a message from
mailbox A


Mailbox sharing
 P1, P2, and P3 share mailbox A
 P1, sends; P2 and P3 receive
 Who gets the message?
Solutions
 Allow a link to be associated with at most two processes
 Allow only one process at a time to execute a receive
operation
 Allow the system to select arbitrarily the receiver.
Sender is notified who the receiver was.

Synchronization XX



Message passing may be either blocking or non-blocking
Blocking is considered synchronous
 Blocking send has the sender block until the message
is received
 Blocking receive has the receiver block until a
message is available
Non-blocking is considered asynchronous
 Non-blocking send has the sender send the message
and continue
 Non-blocking receive has the receiver receive a valid
message or null

Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2007
Buffering XX

Queue of messages attached to the link;
implemented in one of three ways
1. Zero capacity – 0 messages
Sender must wait for receiver (rendezvous)
2. Bounded capacity – finite length of n messages
Sender must wait if link full
3. Unbounded capacity – infinite length
Sender never waits

Remote Procedure Calls




Remote procedure call (RPC) abstracts procedure
calls between processes on networked systems.
Stubs – client-side proxy for the actual procedure
on the server.
The client-side stub locates the server and
marshalls the parameters.
The server-side stub receives this message,
unpacks the marshalled parameters, and peforms
the procedure on the server.
